This really helped me let go of the frustration & anger I was carrying. My mind told me it was petty to hold this in my soul but I couldn't shake it, until I listened to this. Thank you 🙏

I listened to this meditation for the second time today. The first time was a few years ago when I truly began this journey. This experience was completely different: like a conversation with a trusted friend. I was able to see how far I’ve come by how I related to the meditation and self inquiries this time around. I cried. I released so much anger and resentment I’ve been carrying with me for decades. I placed my innate self back into my heart, remembering who I am at the core of my being with such tenderness and longing. I can be me again. I can be free. I have found peace. Even if just for a moment. Thank you. Much love always.

This was beautiful. I felt deeply into my body & experienced authentic love for myself. Both of those things are hard for me to come by. ✨✨

At 8+ years into recovery, I didn’t realize how much I needed what was offered in this meditation, or really what I was able to practice offering to myself during it. Thanks you.
